The Nautilus at CaSoBe: Redefining Coastal Luxury with a Green Heart

Along the pristine shores of Calatagan, Batangas, a new wave of sustainable luxury is making history. The Nautilus at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach), Landco Pacific Corporation’s architectural marvel, has become the first beachfront condominium in the Philippines to receive the Preliminary EDGE Advanced Certification — a global recognition for buildings that champion energy, water, and material efficiency.

A Milestone for Philippine Sustainability

This 10-storey landmark within the 15-hectare CaSoBe estate represents a bold step toward responsible coastal development. With the Philippine Green Building Initiative (PGBI) validating its design, The Nautilus demonstrates that sustainability and sophistication can indeed sail side by side.

“The Nautilus sets a new benchmark for beachfront developments in the country,” said Engr. Leandro A. Conti, PGBI Chairman and President. “It shows that beauty and sustainability can coexist, inspiring communities to live in harmony with nature.”

Developed under IFC’s Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) program, the project achieved impressive projections — 43% energy savings, 37% water savings, and 38% reduction in embodied energy in materials. These figures translate into measurable impact, equivalent to the annual energy use of several Filipino homes — proof that sustainable design yields real-world results.

Living the Purposeful Luxury Dream

Inspired by Jules Verne’s legendary submarine, The Nautilus rises like a vessel anchored by the sea — elegant, efficient, and enduring. Designed by Singapore’s Pomeroy Studio and Visionarch, the building’s glass-lined façade reflects both sunlight and purpose. Inside, guests and residents experience resort-inspired living: infinity pools that mirror the horizon, spa sanctuaries, and panoramic suites that capture the romance of ocean travel.

But The Nautilus isn’t just beautiful — it’s intelligent. From solar panels and EV charging stations to water-efficient systems and recycled construction materials, the development integrates innovation at every level. “True luxury is purposeful,” shared Erickson Y. Manzano, Landco Pacific President and CEO. “Our goal is to build coastal communities that endure — where sustainability is not an accessory but the foundation of value.”

Where Sustainability Meets Serenity

Beyond architecture, The Nautilus celebrates the evolving Filipino lifestyle — one that values wellness, green spaces, and mindful living. With its clean white sands, natural ventilation, and landscaped walkways, it invites residents to embrace balance: work, leisure, and nature in seamless rhythm. Studies show that developments built around greenery and open spaces appreciate in value by up to 20% — proof that living sustainably is not only good for the soul but also for investment.

A World-Class Destination, Just Hours Away

Only a short 2–3-hour drive from Metro Manila, The Nautilus stands within CaSoBe’s master-planned beach tourism estate, home to Aquaria Water Park, Crusoe Cabins, and the iconic Lighthouse. The condotel features 171 residential units and five commercial spaces, with modern amenities like The Captain’s Table lounge, The Abyss spa, The Engine Room gym, and The Horizon Pool Deck — all designed to deliver a resort experience every day.

Managed by Landco Lifestyle Ventures, the project offers flexible ownership, allowing investors to earn rental income while enjoying the perks of a beachfront retreat. Whether as a weekend sanctuary, a wellness escape, or a lasting legacy, The Nautilus blends coastal charm with conscious design.

By earning EDGE Advanced recognition, The Nautilus at CaSoBe proves that the future of luxury living in the Philippines can — and must — be sustainable. It’s not just a place to stay, but a statement: that beauty with purpose will always stand the test of time.
